Notable Quotes

● The way to achieve designs you connect to, spend time walking around in that home, or idea yourself in your mind (and sometimes VR).

● A home with a soul doesn't happen by default.

● Written Statements describing your home are more potent than just a picture. Though a picture is worth a thousand words, you have to give it those words for those words to mean something.

● If there's a house you like near you, I suggest you go there and look at it in the daytime and the nighttime and see what happens as the light moves across it.

● Sometimes, people have an old chandelier they love or something from an artist they want to be an essential thing in the home. So those are the things that will create the special moments in your house that make it memorable.
